The object moving device 1 of FIG. 4 is an embodiment in which the position of the driving source 6 is moved relative to the object moving device 1 of FIG. 1 . In object moving device 1 , drive source 6 is attached to guide rail 3A. The drive source 6 is attached to the guide rail 3 by attaching the flange portion 633 of the motor case 63 to the attachment hole 31 provided in the first guide rail 3A. The extending direction of the driving source side cable extension portion 631 is substantially coaxial with the extending direction of the second cable introducing portion 42B on the driving source 6 side of the second direction changing member 4B.

As long as the extension direction of the cable introduction part 42 is the direction in which the cable 5 extends from the direction conversion member 4, the extension direction of the cable extension part 631 on the driving source side is the direction in which the cable 5 extends from the driving source 6. The cable 5 between the portion 42 and the drive source side cable extension portion 631 may be substantially linear.

In addition, in the object moving device 1 of the present invention, one side of a set of guide rails 3 may also have a plurality of driving source connecting parts, and the driving source connecting parts are connected between the extending direction of the driving source side cable extension part and the direction of one end side. The extension direction of the cable introduction portion on the drive source side of the direction changing member 4 is substantially coaxial and can be connected to the drive source 6 . The first guide rail 3A is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 31 more than the number of threaded holes provided in the motor housing 63, and by changing the mounting holes 31 used for mounting the motor housing 63, the relative position of the drive source 6 can be changed. on the installation position of the guide rail 3A. The driving source 6 is selectively mounted in any position of the plurality of mounting holes 31 . For example, when the drive source 6 is to be arranged above the state shown in FIG. 1 , as shown in FIG. Of the mounting holes 31 provided on the upper side, a space where cables are not wired can be provided near the center of the front side of the door.

A plurality of mounting holes 31 are provided parallel to the extending direction of the guide rail 3A, but may be arranged in a predetermined direction so that the position of the driving source 6 can be adjusted. In FIGS. 1 and 4 , since the mounting holes 31 are provided at intervals in the vertical direction, the positions of the flange portion 633 and the mounting holes 31 are constant in the front-rear direction. Even when the mounting hole 31 of the mounting flange portion 633 is changed, the extending direction of the driving source side cable extension portion 631 is different from that of the second cable introducing portion 42B on the driving source 6 side of the second direction changing member 4B. The extension direction can also be arranged coaxially. Therefore, even if the installation position of the driving source 6 is changed, it is not necessary to change the angle of the driving source side cable extending portion 631 or the second cable introducing portion 42B. Furthermore, the installation position of the drive source 6 can be changed only by changing the length of the cable 5A, especially the length of the housing 7 . That is, it is not necessary to change the structure of the motor case 63 according to the position of the drive source 6 .

As described above, in changing the position of the drive source 6 in the window regulator 1 according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary to change the design of the drive source 6 or the guide rail 3 according to the position where the drive source 6 is installed, thereby improving productivity.

In addition, the cable 5 has a casing 7 through which the cable 5 is inserted between the driving source side cable extension portion 631 and the second cable introduction portion 42B on the driving source 6 side of the second direction changing member 4B. With such a configuration, the position of the driving source can be easily changed by changing the length of the casing 7, so productivity is improved.

In addition, the engaging end of the cable 5 that is stretched between the drive source side cable extension portion 631 and the second cable introduction portion 42B on the drive source 6 side of the second direction changing member 4B and connected to the carrier plate 2 is It is a structure connected to the expansion absorbing mechanism 8 formed on the carrier plate 2 . With such a configuration, even when the cable 5 is stretched by use, it can be absorbed by the stretch absorbing mechanism 8, thereby improving maintainability.

In addition, one of a set of guide rails 3 has a plurality of mounting holes 31 that are aligned with the second line of the driving source 6 side of the second direction changing member 4B in the extending direction of the driving source side cable extension portion 631 . The cable introduction portion 42B can be connected to the drive source 6 in a state where the extending direction is substantially coaxial. With such a configuration, the position can be changed only by changing the length of the casing 7 , and it is not necessary to change the structure of the motor case 63 .

In addition, as a modified example of the present embodiment, the attachment hole provided in the first rail may be formed of a long hole. When the attachment hole is constituted by a long hole, the threaded hole 634 provided in the flange portion 633 of the motor case 63 can be fixed to an arbitrary position of the long hole.
